The film tells about the conditions of growing and storing soybeans using intensive technology.
Soybean seeds.
Krasnodar region, dry lands of the experimental farm "Ladozhskoye".
This is the basic farm of the State Agro-Industrial Committee of the RSFSR. Winter wheat, the best predecessor of soybeans.
Stubble cultivation after harvesting winter crops.
Application of mineral fertilizers.
Fertilizers are immediately incorporated into the soil with disc harrows.
Herbicide treatment after weeds appear.
After 12 days, plowing of fallow land to a depth of 25-27 cm.
Mandatory with the use of skimmers and disc knives.
Ring rollers for breaking up clods follow the plow.
Weeds are destroyed by harrowing.
The field must be clean, the surface well leveled.
Field planning.
This is how the field goes into winter.
Winter.
Spring, ice drift.
Willow catkins.
In the spring, before sowing, the seeds are treated with pickling, irradiated with a laser beam, and treated with nitrogin.
Laser treatment increases the yield.
Spring flowers, lilac.
Cultivators loosen the soil to the depth of seed placement.
The agronomist checks how much the soil has warmed up.
Sowing begins when the soil has steadily warmed up to 12-14 degrees.
A combined unit, in one pass it does several operations: sowing, applying fertilizers and herbicides, cutting technological cracks.
It comes with two slot-cutter knives, a device for band application of herbicides, coulters for sowing seeds and applying fertilizers to a given depth.
A special device monitors the quality of seeding.
Specialists adjust the unit before work.
First test pass.
The check is carried out by the chief agronomist.
After the check, sowing begins.
After the seeder, there are ring swaths.
Harrowing until shoots appear 4-5 days after sowing.
Dandelion and other wild flowers.
Sprouted soybean seeds.
Green sprouts.
Soybean is a moisture-loving plant, therefore all agricultural technology for growing soybeans on dry lands is aimed at preserving moisture in the soil.
Harrowing on emergence.
Agrotechnical measures, Sowing soybeans

Experimental farm "Ladozhskoe"
Soybean shoots.
The first cultivation of the field with a cultivator, when 4 true leaves are formed on the soybean.
Weeds are destroyed, the water-air regime is improved.
The shoots grow.
When 8 leaves are formed on the plant, the crops are treated with a herbicide.
Dried weeds in the row spacing.
The second inter-row cultivation before flowering.
The slit-cutter knife goes along the technological furrow.
The cultivator's working element processes the row spacing.
Flowers in mid-July.
Soybean flowering.
Ladybug on a soybean sprout.
An ovary is formed and the first beans appear.
View of soybeans from fruits to the root system.
Nodules and colonies of nitrogen-fixing bacteria are formed on the soybean roots.
This is facilitated by pre-sowing treatment with nitrogin.
Soybeans leave up to 45 kg of nitrogen per hectare in the soil.
Treatment of soybeans with liquid complex fertilizers.
The nutrients are absorbed by the leaves.
To combat the mite pest, the shoots are pollinated with ground sulfur.
To combat aphids, use malathion.
Ripe watermelon.
Peaches, grapes.
Soybeans have grown.
View of soybeans at the end of September.
Processing fields from an airplane with a mixture of magnesium chlorate and reglon.
The plants are drying out, the grain moisture content is reduced to 16-18%.
Harvesting can begin.
Combines operate at a low cut.
Threshed grain.
Straw is collected and ensiled together with post-harvest corn.
From the combines, the grain goes to a mechanized threshing floor.
On the threshing floor, the grain is sorted and dried.
Ventilated bunkers for storing soybeans.
There is a feed mill next to the storage facility.
Soybeans are used there to produce protein feed additives.
Feeding piglets, including feed additives using soybeans.
Soybeans are also used to feed cows.
